Hopefully this is temporary, as the last time this "volcano" erupted was in 1820 and it continued for 2 years, so hearing that, we can see how a couple of these eruptions simultaneously could quickly bring the end of civilization as we know it, God forbid .
Talk about preparing for the unexpected, the people all over Europe are scrambling for money, food, what have you, albeit in an non-chaotic fashion so far thank goodness, which is nice to see considering what we've witnessed during other 'natural disasters' I suppose this can be classified as..
...as this picture here from Sky news of a European airport shows everyone pretty much "hanging out" like spending an unexpected week at camp. Then again, perhaps "Congressional prison camp" would be a better characterization after a couple days of being away from home unexpectedly in this awkward fashion I would imagine.
Prayers for all would be in order .....My Way News - : "SYDNEY (AP) - Andrew and Debbie Jackman of Britain spent more than two years saving up for their family vacation to Australia. They probably wish they'd saved a little longer.On Friday, they found out their Qantas flight from Sydney to Britain had been canceled thanks to a volcano erupting in Iceland. So the Cambridge couple and their two teenage sons squeezed into a 150 Australian dollar ($138) hotel room to wait out the night.
On Saturday, the hotel raised the price of the same room to AU$350 - simply because it could, Andrew said ruefully. After endless negotiations, the hotel brought the price back down to AU$160, but the family, broke and frustrated, opted to move Sunday to a hostel.passenger stuck at Norita airport with no food..'We're at the end of the holiday so we've spent all our money,' a weary-eyed Andrew said, as he sat with his family next to the Qantas customer service counter at Sydney Airport. 'Because that's what you do on holiday.'A dangerous cloud of ash from the volcano has grounded flights in and out of Europe for four days, leaving thousands of people stranded - and increasingly strapped for cash. Stuck passengers have had to shell out for hotels, restaurant meals, clothing and transport to and from the airport as they seek information on when their travel nightmare might end.In Japan, Francois Broche was down to his last 3,000 yen ($30). The 33-year-old literature and philosophy professor from Nimes, France, said he would have to call his bank at home to see if he can get his money transferred - but doesn't know how.'I stayed in my hotel last night, but that was all my money,' he said at the Narita International Airport, near Tokyo. 'I think I'm going to stay here and sleep at the airport. Help me God.'" more
Actually my brother's stranded there too but he's ok as far as money and such, his company has an office there in London and he happened to be there so he's getting an unexpected trip over there but he also played pro football over there so he's already been all over Europe a number of times
ReplyDeleteI hope so too
